MMA vs Boxing vs Kung Fu vs My Rambling

[Kung Fu Wang]

landing a solid shot,

How difficult is it to land a solid shot? I still remember back in those boxing days that both boxers went through 15 rounds and nobody could knock the other person down.

IMO, to take your opponent down can be 5 times easier than to knock your opponent down.

Yeah that. Do that to me and I would kick your head off

This is worse.

Throw them if you prefer it. That's the beauty of Muay Thai, it's allowed.

If you prefer to throw, I would think of using the release, pull or throw, as a back up, incase you are not able to complete the throw. A counter, to the counter, to the counter.

How would you kick him?

 

[drop bear]

How would you kick him?

Teeps probably. Which I don't generally do in sparring because they are just nasty business.

There no wrapping your fists with hemp in Judo.

I am training with a guy at the moment who did one of those.

This method of catch and release is also useful when your opponent is up against the ropes and you aren't able to manuever much.

This is the one we go for in that case.

But still an awful way to fall.

Even if you do them to the body and at less than 50% power? Nevermind you are talking about kicking someone in the face as the response to my question.

I really like that. The eyes and smile say alot. I don't think I've seen a fraud smile like that. I wish more teachers would share that of interaction. I want to spar with one of my teachers and many saw it as if I was insulting the teacher. To me it was an opportunity to have a once in a life time chance. To experience kung fu. I'm happy to see video like this.

All the teachers I've met in my time, let people taste their method....
All taught CMA,,,for usage....

The day that you have learned how to run your opponent down, the day that your fighting skill has been moved up to the next level.

Here is a good example of this being done in a sports fight.
